Observant Spanish locals last week spotted a boxship belching out more smoke than normal, leading to a swift EUR20,000 ($22,435) fine for Maersk, the world’s largest container shipping company.
The 2007-built, 6,478 teu Maersk Sembawang was caught as it came in to the port of Algericas, its excessive emissions blamed on a faulty main engine.
Nearby residents saw the huge plumes of black smoke coming from the ship and got in touch with a local environmental body who then alerted the port authorities.
